Graduate seminars do many things: introduce students to a field and how to be scholars and professionals in the field, provide students with the tools to follow their own interests as well as give students entry to an entirely new set of interests, lenses and questions. In this session, Melissa Sanchez of English and Gender and Women’s Studies and Alex Weisigner of Political Science facilitate a discussion of ways of structuring and leading graduate seminars to help students get the most out of our classes.
